Be advised


Since this morning's patch there seems to be a bug concerning Harvesters, At least Wind and Mineral personals and mediums. I went on harvester run about 30 minutes ago (6:30PM EST) and when I attempted to enter any amount of maintenance less than the amount that was already in the harvester, i recieved the message " You must put a positive amount into the harvester" or possibly non-negative amount, i cant remember. Example: there is 1000 in harvester. I attempt to put in 500. I get the above message. I put in 3000. It tells me I have successfully paid 3000 to the harvester. When I open a fresh status window, it only displays that the harvester has 2000 in it. In other words, it displays only the Difference betwen the payment you just made and the pre-existing maintenance. Could be quite a costly little bug. I logged and retried 3 times. No fix, even with a 20 minute wait between logs. Sounds like a bug to me. perhaps related in some way to the factory maintenance redeeding situation, but who knows. I am reposting this in the other artisan forums to alert them.

Wondering why I ever believed anything I was told on these boards.

It works a little different now, instead of adding to it when you deposit it asks you basically how much you want total, so if you had 500 before and you want 3000 in it total you put in 3000 so it takes 2500 out of your inv. Not sure why it still said only 2k in there though,did you have enough to cover it all?

If it has 2500, and you type in 3000 you then have 3000 in the harvester. And you only add 500. One of the most important fixes ever.

It took a while for me to figure this out. Looks like they took the code from the bank, but you can only increase ammount in the harvester. It confused me for a while last night.

You can also use the /paymaintenance xxx and /addPower xxx commands, that way you can be sure that you put in exactly as much as you want.

What I started doing is just typing 5000 in the box. That way I always have 3 days 10 hours of maintenance whenever I feed them.

This was the fix that was considered more intuitive????

I can add and subtract just fine. I don't need their help for that. What I really need is an accurate way of knowing how long the maintenance and power will last. I have to do some division on the maintenance side, a hassle, but at least the status screen is understandable with respect to how long the current maintenance will last. The power is just incomprehensible, what does 1:24 mean for how long my power will last?. It appears that it might be measured in hours:minutes....but the minutes are really hours and the hours are really units of 60 hour periods??? It takes an idiot savant to calculate power usage.

It works great.

Now you do not have to do any math. Say you want 4200c in your harvester, and the game will add what ever it takes to make you maintanence 4200c.

I like this way much better! I wish we could remove excess stash if we wanted to.... but all in all this way is much better!

NOW MAKE POWER THE SAME WAY
